JDBC providers

Installed applications use JDBC providers to interact with relational databases.

The JDBC provider object supplies the specific JDBC driver implementation class for access to a specific vendor database. To create a pool of connections to that database, you associate a data source with the JDBC provider. Together, the JDBC provider and the data source objects are functionally equivalent to the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Connector Architecture (JCA) connection factory, which provides connectivity with a non-relational database.

For a current list of supported providers, see the WebSphere® Application Server prerequisite website. For detailed descriptions of the providers, including the supported data source classes and their required properties, refer to the topics on data source required minimum required settings, by vendor.

Removed support: WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 no longer supports the DB2® for zOS Local JDBC Provider (RRS). Version 6.1 and later of the product requires that you migrate your JDBC configurations to the DB2 Using IBM JCC Driver or DB2 Universal JDBC Driver. For instructions, consult the topic on migrating from the JDBC/SQLJ Driver for OS/390® and z/OS® to the DB2 Universal JDBC Driver in the Information Management Software for z/OS Solutions Information Center, which is located at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/dzichelp.
